Sales isn’t just for salespeople.
If you win business, raise money, grow relationships or keep customers happy, you’re in the right place.
Access practical training and a brilliant professional community to help you succeed in sales, business development, fundraising and customer experience.
Is this for me?
Different roles. Same skills.
Some of us call it sales. Some call it business development. Some call it fundraising. Some call it customer experience.
Building relationships. Understanding what people need. Creating value. Having great commercial conversations. Making things happen.
And you don’t need any of these words in your job title. From CEOs and founders to specialists and frontline teams, winning, growing and keeping relationships is everyone’s business.
- Sales
Hit your targets without the hard sell.
Build trusted relationships, have better conversations and turn opportunities into results.
- Business development
Turn conversations into opportunities.
Build relationships, spot potential and create new ways to grow.
- Fundraising
Make the ask with confidence.
Build relationships that inspire people and organisations to invest in what matters.
- Customer experience
Make winning the customer just the beginning.
Listen, learn and build relationships people want to keep.
The Vision and Venture Method
A win isn’t always a sale.
It could be a new connection, a great conversation, an introduction, an opportunity, or simply having the confidence to make the ask. Small wins build confidence. Confidence builds momentum. And momentum gets results.
Training
Practical, human, and built around the Method.
Eighteen open programmes across Win, Grow and Keep, plus bespoke work for organisations. Half a day each, up to twelve people, mixed sectors by design.
Open programmes online and in person, UK and France. Charity and VCFS rates on every programme.
Bespoke · Win + Grow + Keep
Organisational programmes designed around your relationships, not our catalogue: a diagnostic, three to six modules across the cycle, and a relationship-review habit that outlives the training.
The Network
This is the room.
A professional community for people who win, grow and keep relationships. Monthly training, a weekly coffee, quarterly keynotes, and two peer groups: Visionaries for charity and VCFS, Venturers for corporate and professional services.
What we believe
People.Purpose.Profit.
More powerful together.
Commercial ambition and being a decent human being are entirely compatible. And when businesses succeed with Vision and Venture, they help charitable organisations succeed too.
Why trust us
This isn’t theory.
Founder Leanne Windell has spent her career winning business, growing relationships, looking after customers and raising money, from professional services at EY to The King’s Trust and BBC Children in Need. Vision and Venture turns that real-world experience into practical training that works in the real world.
About Vision and Venture“Asked a trustee for an introduction. She said yes before I’d finished.”
“The first sales training I have been to that did not make me feel I had to become someone else.”
